In Spain it is usually only visitors who order their coffee as a Cappuccino, an Espresso, or a Latte Macchiato, If you want to feel like a local, there are four basic types of coffee which you should know:
1. “Café solo” (only coffee) is the equivalent of the Italian “Espresso”.
2. “Café con leche” (Coffee with milk): 50% “Café solo” and 50% milk.
3. “Cortado” is a “Café solo” (Espresso) with a little bit of milk.
4. “Carajillo” is coffee with brandy, whisky, anisette, or rum.
Although, if you don’t fancy any of the above,
you can always order, “Café Americano” which is known as a "Black Coffee" in Northern Europe. It contains more water and is therefore weaker than a “Café solo” .
